Samurai Jack creator says Battle Through Time was the game he always wanted to make, not a cash grab
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
It took awhile, but a new Samurai Jack game is finally on the way. There was a somewhat forgettable GBA title based on the TV series back in 2003, followed by a poorly-received GameCube title in 2004. Now that Samurai Jack is back in video game form, series creator Genndy Tartakovsky wants to do things right.
Tartakovsky referred to that GameCube release – titled Samurai Jack: The Shadow of Aku – during at panel at PAX East 2020. He said it “was done very economically” and “very quickly” before noting that “it wasn’t the love you always want for one of your babies.”
As for Battle Through Time, Tartakovsky sounds much more encouraged. He shared the following about taking another shot at a Samurai Jack-based game:

In Famitsu’s recent 12-page interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, he was asked about Nintendo’s plans moving forward. Considering Nintendo has been diversifying their interests in the past few years at a brisk pace, the public is eager to hear about Nintendo’s activity.
Here’s our translation of the excerpt:
Miyamoto: We want to expand our video game characters to a variety of settings – not just in games, all while keeping their value. In other words, we’ll be collaborating with various other companies. If we’re able to accomplish that, we can create more opportunities for people to make contact with our characters on a much larger scale than usual.
We’ve translated many other highlights from the interview here, here and here. Look forward to more translations in the coming days.

Retailers to put a few select Switch games on sale for Mario Day
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Over the past few years, Nintendo has been recognizing March 10 as Mario day. Retailers will be taking that information to heart with a new Switch sale planned for next week.
GameStop and Target (with other retailers likely to follow) are confirmed to be discounting Super Mario Maker 2, Super Mario Party, Yoshi’s Crafted World, and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. All of these games will be down to $40. That’s the main highlight, though there will be other smaller offices like Target throwing in a Joy-Con wheel with the purchase of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
